Understandable desire, but I don't think using -R that way was
supported.  pkgadd(1M) says this:

                     Note -  The root file  system  of  any  non-
                             global  zones must not be referenced
                             with the -R option. Doing  so  might
                             damage  the  global zone's file sys-
                             tem, might compromise  the  security
                             of the global zone, and might damage
                             the non-global zone's  file  system.
                             See zones(5).

That's from a Solaris 10 11/06 system (S10u3), and the same note is
still there on OpenSolaris.
